2nd Round Seeding -National Cup

how does it work in a bracket with a team that ended up dropping out of tourney, therefore forfeiting their games, therefore the other teams in said bracket each get an automatic "win" and 3 points? how does calsouth factor those "wins"?

Good point. Things that make you go, hmmmm?
 
What is the seeding criteria? I thought it was division winner with the tie breaker being decided by total points, then goal differential, then goals against but that is not what they used for G02.

My DD's team is seeded a lot higher than I thought they would be based on their total points and goal differential.

Why won't they post the guidelines behind seeding. It doesn't seem right.

I assume they don't want anyone to be able to truly question the seeding.

FWIW looking at the G01 it appears they took the bracket winners and seeded by their pre-tournament seeding in order to place in the bracket. I think the WCs got placed after that, but not positive about that. This way of seeding kind of sucks for some teams that had large goal differentials but were seeded lower because it basically means they could have won games by 1 point and ended up in the same spot. That being said, I get that the brackets are not all equal and they're trying to not eliminate "good" teams too early.
 
They used the pre-tournament seedings in order. If a higher seeded team say #18 did not advance they just skipped that spot and continued in order. If you were seeded last and somehow won your bracket and advanced you still received the lowest seeding in the 2nd round. If you were a high seed and got a wild card you still kept your high seed.

Crazy way to do it. No reward for doing do well in the first round.

Cost us a game today. Wind blown ball goes off an attackers back into the goal in the final 5. That was tough sledding today. Hope it I sent better tomorrow.

Yeah I figured some games would have outcomes that were decided by wind. We had balls kicked by goalies making it on fast bounces almost over other goalies head! I didn't see good soccer either as many players couldn't get the ball to settle down long enough to use some skill.

How about that Silverlakes wind today?

At least you were not in Lancaster, so don't complain. DD once played a National cup game in Lancaster with wind gusts of 44 mph blowing diagonal across the field. It was difficult to stand on the sideline, much less play. DD's team won 1-0 with a shot by a defender from near midfield. Funny thing was that as soon as she kicked the ball, everyone on the sideline knew it was going in.
